anyone going to Badowski, Druzak & Jensen in Naperville??

I'm just wondering if anyone else is going to the same doctor's office as I am. this is my first pregnancy going to them and would like input in what other people think of the doctors there.
I use to go to Dr. Taylor in Oak Park and delivered at Westlake in Melrose Park but is no longer delivering babies. So now I'll be closer to home and delivering at Edward Hospital in Naperville.

I went there for my second pregnancy and had a horrible experience. I called twice due contractions at 33 weeks and the nurses told me it was nothing. I went into the office and badowski told me they weren't real contractions. 2 days later I was in the hospital with contractions a minute apart and having my labor stopped. Jensen was my doctor and planned a c-section. I only saw Jensen 4 times because she was too busy and the staff wouldn't schedule me with her. On the day of the surgery Jensen didn't show up and we were 45 minutes behind waiting for Druzak to save the day. My hospital bed broke at Edward, nurses would pick up my daughter when she was fussy and say" it's ok, I'm here now" and kiss her head. My c-section incision opened and we did a culture to see if there was an infection. The doctor advised me to call to get my results. It took 3 phone calls and 2 weeks for the nurse to get back to me to tell me the results were normal. I only stayed with the practice because I knew I needed a repeat c-section and my GI doctor said jensens surgical skills were great. Well she didn't do the surgery and I wish I would've gone to a different doctor and hospital.

WOW, I would have been pissed as hell if said that to my baby while I'm in the room. They didn't carry and deliver the baby. Where do they get off saying, it's ok I'm here. Plus kiss them.
By any chance do they take babies into the nursery when you ask or do they have you keep them in the room the whole time?

They let the babies in the nursery but prefer they stay with the moms. I had my baby in the nursery while I took a shower and the nurse suggested I walk to the nursery and stay with my baby while they take her vitals before we go home. I walked to the nursery and they wouldn't let me in to see my baby. The nurse said my security band would set off the security bands on all the babies because their technology isn't high tech enough. after I had my baby I was told by a lot that rush Copley in aurora is nicer.

Well I'm use to having my babies in the room with me when I went to Westlake. But I was just curious if they do do it.
Edward just is so convenient it will literally take me 10 minutes to get home. Wish my other doctor still delivered then I would know how I would be treated etc.

On a positive note, the hospital food was really good, the day nurses were awesome and they offer free neck and shoulder massages everyday. It was difficult at night with a broken bed(the motor hummed non stop after adjusting the back) and the night nurses werent very pleasant.

I recently moved here and made an appt with Drusak. I ended up doing an ultrasound before my actual first appt because I was spotting. Never met Drusak, Jensen spoke to me over the phone and told me that my ultrasound didn't look good and baby was not as far along as he should be. Then she told me I would probably miscarry that week and to come back in one week. Never asked me if my cycles were irregular or anything and never mentioned that my dates could just be off. I spent a week waiting to miscarry and went back for another ultrasound to be told by another doctor that my baby looks fine and had exactly one weeks growth. I never went back to them. Terrible bedside manner. I spoke with another lady just this week and was telling them this story.(btw, I am now 30 weeks pregnant) she asked me point blank if this was Drusak's office. Apparently they don't have the best reputation.:(

Surprisepg: I'm so sorry you had a horrible experience at that office too. I'm done having babies but am still having issues with c-section incision and scar tissue build up above the incision. This is nothing like my first 2 abdominal surgery healings. Im still looking for a new gyn to go in the area since I refuse to go back to Jensen, Druzak and Badowski. We moved he last year and I absolutely miss my ob/gyn in CA.

I'm going there now for my 4th pregnancy as my original ob/gyn has retired from delivering, very sad.
My Primary Care doctor's office says that Badowski, Druzak and Jensen's office has a good reputation and they recommend patients to go to them if they are looking for an ob/gyn. I have only give once so far. I told my hubby if I get the same feeling I did when I first went I'm going somewhere else. Which he didn't say much as I'm the one pregnant and I have to be comfortable with who is my doctor and the hospital had to make me feel comfortable as well.
But I understand their policy that you have to see all of the doctors there as when you go into labor who ever is on call will be the one delivering. And they want every doctor to know about your pregnancy and you and not just meet you for the first time at the hospital.
Then again I'm use to only having one doctor. Which I built a relationship with and trusted full heartedly.
Damn Taylor, :-)

Gtshelbym: wow I moved from Cali too. Small world. I have a fantastic OB/gym now that I would recommend to anyone. It is Dr. Gallo. He and his partners(which are two woman doctors that I love as well) are in Bolingbrook. I will be delivering at Good Samaritan. They came recommended to me and I am super happy with them.

Sarachka83: I wish you a very easy delivery and hope your circumstance is different with this group of doctors. One more thing to let you know, my friend asked me point blank if my bad experience was with Druzak's office because she had been to a mother's support group and couldn't believe how many mothers there all shared similar "terrible bedside manner" experiences they had from Druzak and the other doctors in that group. Just stay aware and trust yourself. If you see anything you don't like, then look for other recommendations. I am sure they are competent, just not very caring with their patients from my experience and apparently many, many others.
